<span style='font-family:comic sans ms'>What band do you wish you&#39;d seen but you missed out on? I had tickets for Nirvana at the Brixton Academy, but it was inconsideratly cancelled when Kurt shot himself...</span>

[Vange Shrimper]

Has to definately be Nirvana - when Kurt was still alive. End off http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Pretty much all of Naps&#39; list (esp. Hendrix... awesome).

To that, I&#39;d add:

U2 in Sydney (I saw bits of the video - I think it was the Achtung Baby tour... it was one of those moments that you just yearned to be involved in).

Bob Marley (esp. in the West Indies).

Queen (at a huge gig)

Michael Jackson (around Thriller time)

Marvin Gaye (at somewhere like Ronnie Scott&#39;s)

The Beatles (who wouldn&#39;t?&#33;)

Loads of people (one at a time, mind&#33;) at a Ronnie Scott&#39;s type venue - Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr... you&#39;d **** in a pool of happiness on the floor in an intimate venue with a voice like one of theirs, you really would...

[ph437]

Clash. Pogues, Kinks, Pistols, Who &amp; more Jam gigs&#33;&#33;&#33;

Simon &amp; Garfunkel would be good too&#33;&#33;&#33;

Spice Girls&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

[Mad Cyril]

I wish I could see Travis or Coldplay down my local perhaps looking at me in a funny way or spilling a bit out of my pint.

Any excuse to make it legal.

Kurt Cobain and Nirvana were instrumental in bringing a premature end to the Baggy/Madchester scene.

In my opinion, if he hadn&#39;t shot himself someone with a bowlcut and a pair of flares would have.

[SUFC_Spike]

I would very much like to see Michael Jackson live. He is simply one of the greatest ever performers of all time IMO.

His music is great, and his dance moves are even better&#33;&#33;&#33;

I would like to see the dirty kiddy fiddler live as well. Just as he was being given a lethal injection. I take it you have not heard that his home has been raided by police over allegations of abuse AGAIN&#33;&#33;&#33;

[SUFC_Spike]

I didnt know about any of that stuff about a house raid in the past, let alone another one recently&#33;&#33;&#33;

[LITTLEMAN]

Raided tonight. 13yr old boy involved

[Adrian C]

Band I couldn&#39;t see because they&#39;ve long since split - The Jam
Band I&#39;ve missed out on so far - Coldplay

[Blue Missy]

New Kids on the Block&#33; http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif (Only Kidding&#33;&#33;)

A few that I can think of are U2, Nirvana, Queen and Madonna. I&#39;m sure there&#39;s loads more.

There&#39;s going to see Busted and there&#39;s going to &#39;see&#39; Busted.

I hope someone does the latter in the very near future.

Ah, the Junior Reid / Mad Cyril local strikes again. First Sting, then Phil Collins (I think), and now Travis &amp; Coldplay, followed by Busted...

I take it that your local is too rough an institution for its own house band, or indeed &quot;open mic&quot; spot. I mean, anything deemed unaccpetable would rely on a kicking for the musicians, rather than the customary desultory and disinterested ripple of applause...

[Vange Shrimper]

Another band i&#39;d like to see - Rammstein http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Never gonna happen lol

[The Artful Shrimper]

I had tickets for a secret gig at the marquee once, didn&#39;t know who it was and it was THe Cult, and that was a gig lots of my mates wish they went to but didn&#39;t,...but I did&#33;
Also Iron maiden at the Ruskin Arms, saw them twice there doing a 2secret gig&quot; which was weird
I wish I went to see the Pistols at the 100 club but I was only 10 and my mum wouldn&#39;t let me.

SHOWING MY AGE - I DID SEE JIMMIE HENDRIX ONCE - ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT THE CLIFFS PAVILION - IT MUST HAVE BEEN AROUND 1966 - HE CLOSED THE FIRST HALF OF THE SHOW WITH DAVE DEE, DOZY,BEAKY, MICK AND TITCH AS HEADLINERS. THERE WERE ABOUT A HUNDRED PEOPLE IN THE ALL SEATER AUDIENCE AND THEY WERE GIVING AWAY FREE TICKETS FOR THE EVENING PERFORMANCE.
GOD KNOW WHAT HE MUST HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT IT.

[BrettieAngell]

I wish I had seen Nirvana live.

Another band I haven&#39;t seen live yet - although I went to see them only to find out they had cancelled the entire tour when I got there&#33;?&#33; - is an American metal band called ****ing Razors.

That&#39;s right&#33;

Actually I don&#39;t have a local but for the sake of this particular argument I am selecting my brothers local, The victory in Ashingdon. To be honest I can&#39;t see any of the aforementioned galaxy of stars turning up for a pint and in one of the (many) fruit machines&#33;

[The Artful Shrimper]

I wish i&#39;d see the All Essex gospel choir in Southends bandstand when the cliffs went to say hallo to the estuary

I had a ticket for that gig as well, can&#39;t believe I came that close to seeing them.

There&#39;s loads of bands I&#39;d love to have seen but the main two are The Beatles (every time we went to the cinema as kids, at the old Odeon, my old man would go on about how he saw The Beatles there and they were supporting Freddie And The Dreamers) and The Jam (although rumour has it I may get the chance next summer.......).

I saw Daisy Chainsaw supported by sheep on drugs once.

Daisy Chainsaw used to rehearse next to us a a pokey studio in Wapping. It was run by some hippy geezer for 20 years. When he sold it he made more money on the sale so they could be converted into yuppie flats than he made in all the years he run it as a studio. Top geezer though
